This is the side of the stone where Dr. James G. Taylor is listed. In processing, the lab lost a couple of my cameras. Sorry about that.
James G. Taylor Dead
The Courier noted the fact last evening that Charles O. Taylor had received a dispatch notifying him of the illness of his brother James at Philadelphia, with diphtheria and of the departure of Charles on the C.B.& Q. train.
Dispatch from Philadelphia Jan. 31, 1883- James just expired, come immediately. This telegram was a stunning shock to his mother, who is here alone except the
company of Mrs. Charles Taylor and Mrs. Finley, and is equally a surprise and a matter of grief to the many friends of James Taylor in this city, who loved and
admired him for his many excellent qualities of mind and heart. The progress of the disease was very rapid, and beyond the reach of human skill. James was well and hearty on Sunday last and wrote his mother a long and
loving letter which she received by yesterday mornings' mail and in which he said he should leave Philadelphia for home the 17th of February, would reach here on the 19th and then he would "make noise enough for them". The whole
letter abounded with the expressions of a happy youth, eagerly anticipating the time when he would be at home and with friends again. It is a sad stroke on his mother, as well as his brothers and sister, in which they will have the hearty sympathy of many friends.
James was in his 20th year, and went to Philadelphia to study pharmacy. He would have completed his studies in about two weeks, when he expected to return and engage in business with his brother Charles and W. D. Elliott.
